oil boiler

My old grandee oil combi boiler is now 14 years old and during that time it's had a few repairs on it and still going strong but I have yet to meet a engineer to say anything good about them. Anyways, the combi is now 14 years old and it's seen better days and unsure how many more years it can...

I've always just assumed that the colder the return to the boiler the more efficient the boiler would be (i.e. greater differential so heat transfer through manifold is faster). But I've come across direct evidence to the contrary (e.g. boiler recommends minimum 60 degree return, 'hearth' temp...

I photographed our Tigerloop the other day - seems a lot of water/condensation in the top of our Tigerloop, does this look normal? - I've never had a Tigerloop before so i didnt know if its normal? is that what is supposed to happen? or could there be some water getting into tank or oil? - I...

Good afternoon all, I'm in the midst of renovating a 4 bedroom, detached cottage. Our plan is to have a main bathroom (bath, shower and sink + loo), ensuite to master bedroom (same as main bathroom) and a downstairs loo (sink + loo). Underfloor heating to the kitchen and radiators...

I ran out of oil last night luckily managed to get 140litres delivered earlier but it is showing the same lock out code even after resetting. I am sure it needs bleeding but after removing the boiler lid I have not got a clue where to start. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Wondering if anyone has any info on how to wire my potterton ep2002 central heating controller to my new hive 2, also I have a thermostat I have wired into my system somehow that ideally I would like disconnected and linked out at the source, any help would be great cheers

We had a power cut recently and boiler (old Potterton oil boiler) went dead and realised fuse inside boiler had blown. Replaced fuse but every time switch on boiler it blows again immediately. Struggled to get a pro to look at it but one did and traced it to motor on the burner. When the...

Hello - we have a Grant Euroflame 70-90 outdoor kerosene condensing boiler which has a Reillo RDB 2.2 Burner. whilst I was cleaning it out of soot inside the other day I got a magnifying glass and had a look what was stamped on the Danfoss nozzle jet and it said 60's - now the specs for a...

Good morning everyone, Looking for some pointers. As the title says we replaced the old broken one with a new ST9400C. Transferring the wiring didn't seem too bad at all. I have attached a pic of the old wiring. Basically one wire for CH, one for HW and the loop from Live to 2 and 5 for...

Grant Euroflame 70-90btu outdoor condensing boiler unit (kerosene oil burner) Riello RDB2 Burner: When my boiler first starts up in the morning it only heats upstairs rads and immersion tank and fair enough once its cold the burner stays on a long time to heat it up to 60-65c , but once its...

Hi two questions, that would be very helpful to have answered. Questions on how interchangeable oil pumps are. Can you replace a faulty RDB pump with a Riello Mectron oil pump, and vice versa? Is there any possible way that a danfoss oil pump could be used on a RDB burner. Would be really...

Hi All, I have an Alpha 140k cooker/ Boiler. However, it's playing up. Even when the programmer is all off on the display the boiler is constantly kicking in. This is costing us huge amount in keep refilling the oil. Thanks in advance for your advice

Hi All, I have recently moved into a new home we bought and I inherited an oil boiler with it. I have previosly been used to very good gas boilers, and have never really had any boiler issues. Anyway so since turning the old thing on for the first time, we started to get a strong smell of...
